That’s because the arrest of the suspect, Wajid Lowe, of 106 Tyler St., violated his terms of probation for a prior offense, court documents state.

Although bail was set at $25,000 for the Wednesday case, he was ordered held without bail because of the probation violation.

Police were notified of the incident at about 12:15 a.m. when a 911 caller told police that the 41-year-old victim’s boyfriend, armed with a shotgun, was attempting to break into her home at 16 Princeton St., Sgt, John Delaney said.

Officers John Lopez, Anthony Kelliher and K-9 Officer Scott Stelzer, responding to the scene, found the suspect on the second floor, Delaney, public information officer for the department, said.

The suspect, who then attempted to leave the home, was detained and arrested. Police found the victim and her 24-year-old niece on Girard Avenue.

The two women told police they were attempting to hide in the home when the suspect found them and pointed the shotgun at them. That’s when they fled, Delaney said.

The victim told police that the suspect, her boyfriend of about one year, left the home before the incident started and that she told him never to come back.

“He didn't listen and came back an hour later,” Delaney said. Police found the sawed-off shotgun inside the home, he said.

Lowe denied two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a sawed-off shotgun, armed home invasion, carrying a firearm, carrying a firearm with three prior violent offenses, possession of a firearm with a felony and malicious damage.
